Don’t Show the Son

It was only after Lin Xiu returned to Chen's residence that he found out that Liu Qingfeng had found the culprit in the kidnapping case before he came back.

The prisoner was the nanny of Chen's house. Because she had been in Chen's house for a long time and saw with her own eyes how much Chen Yuanwai valued and loved her son, she was moved to kidnap and blackmail her.

She instigated her relatives to kidnap the young master of the Chen family. She wanted to wait two more days, and when Master Chen was exhausted from anxiety and did not report any hope, then let the distant relatives come forward to blackmail him and hide behind the scenes to enjoy the benefits. Wouldn't it be beautiful? ?

But she never expected that she would be picked out by the government. Originally, the young master of the Chen family was in his hands, so she still had the possibility of escape. Now that the young master is also found, she has no hope of turning over.

The nanny's eyes were blank, and she lay limp on the ground, as if her bones had been taken out of her body.

Liu Qingfeng also looked suspicious. He looked at Lin Xiu with piercing eyes and asked, Master Lin, you, how did you do it?

If he hadn't known Lin Xiu's identity and the status of the Lin family, he would have suspected that this was a play co-acted by Lin Xiu and the nanny, with the purpose of defrauding the Chen family of rewards.

Lin Xiu did not hang on to Liu Qingfeng this time, and asked: Master Liu should know that I have ordered a piece of underwear from the young master of the Chen family, right?

Liu Qingfeng nodded and said, I saw it, but Master Lin can find the young master of the Chen family with only one piece of clothing?

Lin Xiu patted Rhubarb's head and said, Of course I can't, but it can. A dog's sense of smell is far more sensitive than a human's. I just need to let him remember the smell of Master Chen's body, and then let him smell it. Smell it everywhere, except for the Chen Mansion, the place where this smell appears is the place where the young master of the Chen family is hiding.

It is common sense that a dog's sense of smell is far better than that of a human. Of course, Liu Qingfeng knows that when people praise people for their keen sense of smell, they always say, Your nose is better than a dog's nose.

But it was difficult for Liu Qingfeng to understand using the dog's ability to solve the case. A dog is a livestock and can't understand human words. How can it help Lin Xiu investigate the case?

Lin Xiu knew Liu Qingfeng's doubts, and took the initiative to explain: In fact, some animals are very smart, especially dogs. They get along with people all the year round, and they also understand human nature. With a little training, they can help us do many things. If adults are interested, you can try to train one yourself, whether it is chasing murderers or hunting people, they are much stronger than humans.

The policemen next to Liu Qingfeng showed shame on their faces. They were even worse than dogs. This time, it was really embarrassing...

After many years of solving crimes, Liu Qingfeng thought that no one could surpass him in this way, but Lin Xiu this time, really let him see what is beyond others, there is a sky beyond the sky, and a mountain is higher than a mountain.

He showed a teachable expression on his face, and said: Master Lin really opened Liu's eyes today. Liu thinks he is good at investigating cases, but compared with Master Lin, he is still far behind.

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, Master Liu, you don't have to be too modest. You were able to find the criminal in such a short period of time, and you are worthy of the name of a detective.

Lin Xiu wasn't talking about business. After a few short contacts, Lin Xiu discovered that Liu Qingfeng had two hands in investigating the case. He can't do it even if he is given a day to lock down the criminal among many people.

Liu Qingfeng shook his head and said, I'm actually relying on the ability of different arts, and I can't compare to Mr. Lin's subtle methods.

Unusual magic ability? Lin Xiu's eyes lit up, and he asked, What kind of strange art has Mr. Liu awakened?

Liu Qingfeng said: To be honest, I rely on my supernatural powers. I can see clues that ordinary people tend to ignore, and I can also see the subtle changes in everyone's expressions. Only in this way can I quickly locate criminals.

Lin Xiu's heart skipped a beat for the strange art of the eyes.

He possessed several kinds of different arts, of course he has realized that the grades of different arts determined by the predecessors cannot represent everything.

In some specific cases, the role of low-level abnormal spells cannot be replaced by high-level abnormal spells.

The magic of ice is heaven-level, and the magic of healing is mysterious, but a person is seriously injured and dying. Even a super expert who has awakened nine times of ice magic is not as effective as a girl who has awakened four times.

In the same way, if Lin Xiu didn't have the ability to speak animal language, even if Lin Xiu possessed a heavenly magic, she still wouldn't be able to find that child.

The different skills of the eyes are also mysterious, but in Lin Xiu's place, all the different skills are heavenly. This kind of ability can make people have incredible vision and insight. The ability after five awakenings is unknown. Lin Xiu fantasizes Could it be perspective or something...

In order to see through... and to protect his eyes, Liu Qingfeng still had to find a way to obtain his abilities.

People who have awakened to the supernatural powers will not be short-sighted or presbyopic. Their eyes have built-in telephoto and magnification functions, as well as automatic focus and adjustment functions. This is simply a boon for people like Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang. Using this ability to see beautiful women , tsk tsk...

After gaining Thunder and Healing ability just now, Lin Xiu found a new target.

Lin Xiu said to Liu Qingfeng: Alien arts are just means. I actually admire Master Liu's means of investigating cases.

Liu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and asked happily: Master Lin really thinks so?

For a detective, what is more pleasing than the recognition of another detective? In his professional field, he has been recognized by professionals who even he admires. To Liu Qingfeng , is a great honor.

Lin Xiu said with a smile: It's true, why don't we find an opportunity for you and me to have a drink, exchange our experience in investigating cases, learn from each other, and promote each other, how about it?

Liu Qingfeng said happily, That's exactly what I meant.

Seeing Liu Qingfeng mentioning drinking, even his eyes lit up, Lin Xiu felt vigilant and asked, I wonder how Master Liu can drink?

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, It's okay.

Lin Xiu knew that Liu Qingfeng knew how to be modest. What he meant by Shang Ke was that he could drink a lot. If so, Lin Xiu would have to prepare two days in advance.

He smiled and said to Liu Qingfeng: I still have some things to do today, find a time, I will hold a banquet in the Yueyue Tower, and invite Master Liu to have a few drinks.

Lin Xiu still doesn't know the upper limit of his ability to copy after the second awakening. Liu Qingfeng is in the Yamen, and he can ask him for a drink at any time, so there is no need to worry.

Liu Qingfeng shook his head and said: Zhaiyue Tower is too expensive, let's find a small roadside restaurant, just drink whatever you want.

This remark hit Lin Xiu's heart. He also felt that the Yueyue Building was too expensive. Although the shopkeeper Qian gave him the lowest friendship price every time, Lin Xiu still felt distressed. The more he looked at Liu Qingfeng, the more pleasing he was to his eyes. This young man, very sensible...

The police escorted the three criminals to the yamen, and member Chen hurried out, stuffed a stack of silver bills into Lin Xiu's hand, and said, Thank you sir, this is one thousand and one hundred taels of silver bills, please accept them. Excuse me, the extra ones, even if I treat the adults to a meal, and there is a scandal at home, I can't let the adults work hard for so long...

Lin Xiu did not refuse these rewards.

This is what he deserves. Although the money did come easily, his ability is irreplaceable. Lin Xiu handed over one hundred taels of silver to a headhunter and said, This hundred taels, everyone divides it up. Bar.

The head catcher still wanted to refuse, but Lin Xiu waved her hand directly and said, Everyone has been busy all morning, so use this little money to buy wine.

Seeing this, the head catcher didn't refuse, and several head catchers smiled and thanked Lin Xiu. The money was distributed to each of them, and there were more than a dozen taels, which was their salary for several months.

Liu Qingfeng looked at the banknote in Lin Xiu's hand, a flash of envy and longing flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.

He cupped his fists at Lin Xiu and said, Master Lin, I'm going back to the Yamen first.

Lin Xiu smiled and said, I also have some things to do, see you in a few days.

After her cultivation stagnated for so long, Lin Xiu just earned a thousand taels of silver, and Lin Xiu couldn't wait to exchange them for Yuanjing.

Speaking of it, one thousand taels of silver can only be exchanged for ten Yuanjing, which is worth ten days of practice. Using Yuanjing to practice is really too much money. This is only the second awakening. Wait until you wake up again , One thousand taels is needed for a day of practice, I am afraid that even the richest people can't afford it.

He had to consider a new way to make money.

...

Lin Mansion, a wing room.

It was early autumn at this time, and the weather was still a bit hot, but this wing room was very cool, it could even be said to be cold, like an ice cave.

In fact, this is the ice cave.

The entire room had been emptied long ago, and the ground and walls were covered with a thick layer of ice. Lin Xiu sat cross-legged on the ice, and the cold air was still gushing out of her body.

To use Yuanjing to practice, one must first consume all the Yuanli in the body, then replenish it with Yuanjing, consume again, replenish again, and repeat this process over and over again.

Talking to animals doesn't consume much energy. This kind of low-level ability can't even consume energy, and it can't be improved by using energy crystals.

The reason why heaven-level different arts are heaven-level different arts is not only because they are powerful, but also because they can completely consume the energy in the body in a very short period of time, which represents the potential of different arts.

Lin Xiu can consume a lot of energy in a short period of time by making ice out of thin air and releasing thunderbolts, but the latter's movements are too loud to be concealed from others, so he can only manually build an ice cellar for his home.

Fresh vegetables and meat bought in the kitchen can be stored here without worrying about spoilage.

In a short time, the ten second-order alien crystals that Lin Xiu had just obtained were all consumed by him. This kind of spending speed can be called an extreme prodigal.

However, helping Yuanwai Chen find his son today made Lin Xiu think of a way to make quick money.

spy.

The ability of animal language can not only be used as a veterinarian, but also conveniently used to secretly investigate some things.

After all, everyone knows to be vigilant when being followed, but when being followed by a dog, who will notice a dog, or, Lin Xiu raises a bird, no matter how vigilant a person is, he will not realize that there will be a bird Tracking him.

Daxia also has the profession of private detective, but it is not called this name, but it is called Secret Detective, which means secret investigation, Secret Detective can do everything, find people, investigate personal background, have extramarital affairs, follow and monitor, protect, etc... …

The Secret Investigators in the Twenty-Four Divisions of the imperial court also do this, the difference is that they are official secret detectives, and the beggar and the middle-aged man selling pancakes outside the Lin family are secret detectives.

The price of hiring private detectives is extremely high, because their target customers are not ordinary people, but powerful and wealthy businessmen. From them, they can buy the secrets of the major families in the capital. paparazzi almost...

Doing this business does not require too much capital, and it is often a one-shot deal, without waiting for the capital to flow back, which is Lin Xiu's ideal part-time job.

Lin Xiu already had a preliminary plan in mind, and walked out of the Lin residence.

That greyhound named Xiao Hui, who provided him with important clues today, Lin Xiu did not treat it badly, it ate two elbows and five chicken legs just now, and now it is basking in the sun under the wall outside the Lin Mansion.

Lin Xiu took Sun Dali and Rhubarb to the flower and bird market in Wangdu first.

He planned to buy another bird. Although most people would not suspect Dahuang, it was too big to be followed outside. If the person being followed entered the mansion, Dahuang would have nothing to do.

It's different with a bird. Its targets are smaller and less likely to be noticed. After training, even the smartest drone can't compare.

There is a flower and bird street near Lin's mansion. These things are very popular in the rich and powerful circles.

The rich and powerful do not need to work, they can receive their salaries while lying down, and they can spend a lot of time for leisure every day. Apart from oppressing the common people and regulating the breath of women from good families, walking birds and fighting chickens and crickets are all basic skills.

The entire Huaniao Street is full of shops selling bonsai, flowers, insects, and birds. After stepping here, Lin Xiu's head started buzzing, as if it was about to explode.

It was already noisy here, to others' ears, it was just the sound of insects and birds, but to Lin Xiu's ears it was different.

Gulululu...

I'm so hungry, I want to eat...

Quack, is there anyone to mate with?

Me, me, I'm behind you...

...

Lin Xiu found that not all animals had the same wisdom as the imperial concubine's pet and Rhubarb. In fact, what most animals said here was meaningless.

For example, those ornamental fish can only spit bubbles, and the sound they make has no information.

Some insects only have food and mating instincts, and they only repeat those few sentences.

To Lin Xiu's surprise, there are several kinds of birds with high IQ, which can be clearly seen to have their own thinking, such as thrushes, orioles, etc. Lin Xiu's first shop in the street cost ten taels of silver I bought a thrush and left in a hurry.

Being able to understand animal language is not necessarily a good thing, at least in this kind of place, Lin Xiu couldn't stay for a moment when he was quarreled, and the confluence of various complicated and meaningless voices made his head feel like it was about to split open.

A moment later, in Ewha Garden, in the Accord.

Caiyi looked at the thrush in the cage, couldn't help stretching out her finger to tease, and said, This thrush is so beautiful...

Lin Xiu was discussing something with the class leader. Although he wanted to work part-time as an undercover detective, there were no barriers to doing this. At least, he needed a shop.

With a shop, you can receive customers, but Lin Xiu obviously doesn't have the time and energy, and he can't stay in the shop all day. Instead, he can borrow the place in Lihuayuan and put up an extra sign at the door. If there is business coming, let them take it over for Lin Xiu first.

Lin Xiu originally planned to pay them, but the class leader didn't want it. Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Xiu didn't insist anymore.

Lin's Detective Agency was opened just like this, but it had no business for a few days. This is also normal. After all, this business is different from those serious shops. The important thing is that everyone wants to find a well-known secret agent. For some newcomers, it is normal for no one to care about them.

On this day, Lin Xiu was walking on the street, followed by Rhubarb, and a thrush bird stood on her shoulder, which attracted passers-by's frequent glances.

There are quite a few people in Wangdu who know how to walk birds, but they either tie the legs of the birds with silk threads, cut off the wings of the birds, or simply walk with them in cages to prevent them from escaping. The young man in front of him, Neither using silk thread nor cutting off the bird's wings, the bird stood obediently on his shoulders. This is the highest state of walking a bird.

After a while, several people came forward to ask Lin Xiu about the method of taming the bird, or simply asked him if the bird was for sale. The highest bid was even 100 taels of silver, and Lin Xiu bought this bird from the flower and bird market. The bird only cost ten taels.

Of course Lin Xiu wouldn't sell it, and they couldn't learn how to tame birds either.

In fact, when Lin Xiu opened the cage for the first time, the thrush also wanted to fly away, but it was also curious why this human could understand its words and kept circling above the Lin family.

It took Lin Xiu three days, chatting with it, and seducing it with food, before she finally tamed the thrush and made it willing to stay by her side.

In this regard, there is a big difference between birds and dogs.

Dogs have long been domesticated by humans, and they are naturally very loyal to humans. So Lin Xiu used an elbow and a few chicken legs to bring Rhubarb home and let him never leave him. However, these wild birds are hard to find. They yearn for nature. Freedom, even if Lin Xiu can communicate with them, it is difficult to tame them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing spying. He could earn a lot of money just by helping others tame birds.

Fortunately, this bird has a brain and knows the difference between a full meal and a full meal. When the luck outside is unlucky, it will go hungry for nine meals in three days, and it is even worse in winter. Follow Lin Xiu and eat three meals a day. , you can order what you want to eat, it's not much better than catching bugs outside...

Arriving at Lihuayuan, just as Lin Xiu walked to the lobby on the first floor, the class leader came down from the upstairs and said happily: Mr. Lin, you came at the right time. There is a business coming, and it is still a big business. Caiyi is waiting upstairs. Let's talk to that guest...

A moment later, Lin Xiu saw the guest in the Accord on the second floor.

It was a woman, not tall, but very strong, about 1.5 meters tall, weighing more than 300 catties, and not too young, she looked like she was in her forties, purely from an aesthetic point of view , this honor is really not flattering.

But she also has one of the biggest advantages, that is, she is very rich.

She wears accessories all over her head, all of which are made of pure gold. Lin Xiu feels heavy at a glance. In addition, there is also a pearl necklace on her body. The size and color of the pearls are high-end products at first glance. It is the body instead of the neck, because she is so fat that she has no neck, and her chin and chest are connected together.

In addition, there were two pure gold bracelets on her left and right wrists, which almost caught Lin Xiu's eyes.

When she saw Lin Xiu, the woman's eyes lit up suddenly, and she asked, Are you that spy?

Lin Xiu nodded and asked, What do you want to entrust?

The woman looked Lin Xiu up and down, and some kind of brilliance began to bloom in her eyes. The fat on her neck twitched a few times, and she looked at Lin Xiu and said, Why don't you stop being a spy and follow me? I will give you five hundred taels of silver every month, and you can spend it as you like. In this month, you will be with me for ten days, and I don't care what you do during the rest of the time...

Lin Xiu's face immediately showed righteous words, and said: Madam, please respect yourself, I am not this kind of person...

Thanks to Ms. Tongtang for the leader's reward. This piece is more than 5,000 words, which is considered medium length. There is still one chapter tonight. I have lost all my manuscripts. The update after tomorrow will definitely be in the afternoon and evening, and a little later or even early in the morning. Although it is late, there will be...
